🤷🏿‍♂️ Y'all are still trying to play the game where you pretend that Trump's immigration policies are unpopular *with his base*.

The "They didn't vote for this!" stans really want to believe that.

But the Quinnipiac poll shows that 87% of Republicans approve of the way he is handling immigration.🤦🏿‍♂️

To put into perspective how astronomically high 87% is...

In 2012, 87% of Black men voted for Obama. Republicans like the way immigration is "being handled" as much as Black men liked Obama.

🤔I swear, I don't think some of y'all even talk to Trump voters before you claim that they don't like this.

@mekkaokereke This is why I keep telling people that the best way to protest Trump right now is to talk about the many ways Trump's klept budget bill is taking money from Trump voters and hands them to Bezos and Zuckerberg. You're not going to move racists on immigration.

@mekkaokereke States where calling out Republican Senators about the klept budget can make the most difference:

1. Thom Tillis in North Carolina,
2. Susan Collins in Maine,
(less vulnerable but still worth putting pressure on)
3. John Cornyn and his primary challenger Ken Paxton in Texas,
4. Bill Cassidy in Louisiana,
5. Pete Ricketts in Nebraska.

@dmitry @mekkaokereke I agree.

But the goal isn’t to move the racists on immigration. It’s to mobilize everyone else.

@lkanies @dmitry @mekkaokereke it's been unreal trying to usher these scumbags to the margins of society, what with the orange and foxnews(ilk) defining a legion of sadly uninformed donkeys into the wilderness of anarchism and conspiracy.

Racists are the base.
They will not be moved, im certain of that.

@lkanies @mekkaokereke I see 6,265,888 racists that could be persuaded to vote for a Democrat.
